Stamp Collecting, What A Wonderful Hobby! :)

Hi Everyone!
I was searching through an album I bought in an auction lot, and I pulled out a Mint Never-Hinged #285 in blazing (Maybe?) XF-SUP 95 shape with sound perfs!
It seems to me to be stamp sheet fresh!
My question, should it stay in my book, or is it a grader? I have another #285 M LH but is on glade fine with bad perfs.
What should I do? I have a free submission credit with PSAG.
Are they reputable?
I own a graded stamp or two, but have never submitted myself.
Thanks!

Very nice stamp. If you can get it certified and graded for free, go for it. I have doubts it will get a 95 but 90 would seem a lock. I believe most of these certifying/grading services have backlogs, so plan on it taking awhile.
